Abstract
The following describes an interface and logic for fungible tokens that supports a tokenReceived
callback to notify contract recipients when tokens are received. This makes tokens behave identical to ether.
Motivation
This token introduces a communication model for contracts that can be utilized to straighten the behavior of contracts that interact with such tokens. Specifically, this proposal:
- Informs receiving contracts of incoming token transfers, as opposed to ERC-20 where the recipient of a token transfer gets no notification.
- Is more gas-efficient when depositing tokens to contracts.
- Allows for
_data
recording for financial transfers.
Specification
Contracts intending to receive these tokens MUST implement tokenReceived
.
Token transfers to contracts not implementing tokenReceived
as described below MUST revert.
Token contract
Token Methods
totalSupply
function totalSupply() view returns (uint256)
Returns the total supply of the token. The functionality of this method is identical to that of ERC-20.
name
function name() view returns (string memory)
Returns the name of the token. The functionality of this method is identical to that of ERC-20.
OPTIONAL - This method can be used to improve usability, but interfaces and other contracts MUST NOT expect these values to be present.
symbol
function symbol() view returns (string memory)
Returns the symbol of the token. The functionality of this method is identical to that of ERC-20.
OPTIONAL - This method can be used to improve usability, but interfaces and other contracts MUST NOT expect these values to be present.
decimals
function decimals() view returns (uint8)
Returns the number of decimals of the token. The functionality of this method is identical to that of ERC-20.
OPTIONAL - This method can be used to improve usability, but interfaces and other contracts MUST NOT expect these values to be present.
standard
function standard() view returns (string memory)
Returns the identifier of the standard. If the token is ERC-223 then it must return "223"
.
OPTIONAL - This method can be used to improve usability, but interfaces and other contracts MUST NOT expect these values to be present.
balanceOf
function balanceOf(address _owner) view returns (uint256)
Returns the account balance of another account with address _owner
. The functionality of this method is identical to that of ERC-20.
transfer(address, uint)
function transfer(address _to, uint _value) returns (bool)
This function must transfer tokens, and if _to
is a contract, it must call the tokenReceived(address, uint256, bytes calldata)
function of _to
. If the tokenReceived
function is not implemented in _to
(recipient contract), then the transaction must fail and the transfer of tokens must be reverted.
If _to
is an externally owned address, then the transaction must be sent without executing tokenReceived
in _to
.
_data
can be attached to this token transaction, but it requires more gas. _data
can be empty.
The tokenReceived
function of _to
MUST be called after all other operations to avoid re-entrancy attacks.
NOTE: If transfer
function is payable
and ether was deposited then the amount of deposited ether MUST be delivered to _to
address alongside tokens. If ether was sent alongside tokens in this way then ether MUST be delivered first, then token balances must be updated, then tokenReceived
function MUST be called in _to
if it is a contract.
transfer(address, uint, bytes)
function transfer(address _to, uint _value, bytes calldata _data) returns (bool)
This function must transfer tokens and invoke the function tokenReceived (address, uint256, bytes)
in _to
, if _to
is a contract. If the tokenReceived
function is not implemented in _to
(recipient contract), then the transaction must fail and the transfer of tokens must not occur.
If _to
is an externally owned address (determined by the code size being zero), then the transaction must be sent without executing tokenReceived
in _to
.
_data
can be attached to this token transaction, but it requires more gas. _data
can be empty.
NOTE: A possible way to check whether the _to
is a contract or an address is to assemble the code of _to
. If there is no code in _to
, then this is an externally owned address, otherwise it's a contract. If transfer
function is payable
and ether was deposited then the amount of deposited ether MUST be delivered to _to
address alongside tokens.
The tokenReceived
function of _to
MUST be called after all other operations to avoid re-entrancy attacks.
Events
Transfer
event Transfer(address indexed _from, address indexed _to, uint256 _value, bytes _data)
Triggered when tokens are transferred. Compatible with and similar to the ERC-20 Transfer
event.
ERC-223 Token Receiver
Receiver Methods
function tokenReceived(address _from, uint _value, bytes calldata _data) returns (bytes4)
A function for handling token transfers, which is called from the token contract, when a token holder sends tokens. _from
is the address of the sender of the token, _value
is the amount of incoming tokens, and _data
is attached data similar to msg.data
of ether transactions. It works by analogy with the fallback function of Ether transactions and returns nothing.
NOTE: msg.sender
will be a token-contract inside the tokenReceived
function. It may be important to filter which tokens were sent (by token-contract address). The token sender (the person who initiated the token transaction) will be _from
inside the tokenReceived
function. The tokenReceived
function must return 0x8943ec02
after handling an incoming token transfer. The tokenReceived
function call can be handled by the fallback function of the recipient contact (and in this case it may not return the magic value 0x8943ec02).
IMPORTANT: This function must be named tokenReceived
and take parameters address
, uint256
, bytes
to match the function signature 0x8943ec02
. This function can be manually called by a EOA.
Rationale
This standard introduces a communication model by enforcing the transfer
to execute a handler function in the destination address. This is an important security consideration as it is required that the receiver explicitly implements the token handling function. In cases where the receiver does not implements such function the transfer MUST be reverted.
This standard sticks to the push transaction model where the transfer of assets is initiated on the senders side and handled on the receivers side. As the result, ERC-223 transfers are more gas-efficient while dealing with depositing to contracts as ERC-223 tokens can be deposited with just one transaction while ERC-20 tokens require at least two calls (one for approve
and the second that will invoke transferFrom
).
-
ERC-20 deposit:
approve
~46 gas,transferFrom
~75K gas -
ERC-223 deposit:
transfer
and handling on the receivers side ~54K gas
This standard introduces the ability to correct user errors by allowing to handle ANY transactions on the recipients side and reject incorrect or improper transfers. This tokens utilize ONE transferring method for both types of interactions with contracts and externally owned addresses which can simplify the user experience and allow to avoid possible user mistakes.
One downside of the commonly used ERC-20 standard that ERC-223 is intended to solve is that ERC-20 implements two methods of token transferring: (1) transfer
function and (2) approve + transferFrom
pattern. Transfer function of ERC-20 standard does not notify the receiver and therefore if any tokens are sent to a contract with the transfer
function then the receiver will not recognize this transfer and the tokens can become stuck in the receivers address without any possibility of recovering them. ERC-20 standard places the burden of determining the transferring method on the user and if the incorrect method is chosen the user can lose the transferred tokens. ERC-223 automatically determines the transferring method, preventing the user from losing tokens due to chosing wrong method.
ERC-223 is intended to simplify the interaction with contracts that are intended to work with tokens. ERC-223 utilizes a "deposit" pattern, similar to that of plain Ether. An ERC-223 deposit to a contract is a simple call of the transfer
function. This is one transaction as opposed to two step process of approve + transferFrom
depositing.
This standard allows payloads to be attached to transactions using the bytes calldata _data
parameter, which can encode a second function call in the destination address, similar to how msg.data
does in an ether transaction, or allow for public logging on chain should it be necessary for financial transactions.
Backwards Compatibility
The interface of this token is similar to that of ERC-20 and most functions serve the same purpose as their analogues in ERC-20.
transfer(address, uint256, bytes calldata)
function is not backwards compatible with ERC-20 interface.
ERC-20 tokens can be delivered to a non-contract address with transfer
function. ERC-20 tokens can be deposited to a contract address with approve
+ transferFrom
pattern. Depositing ERC-20 tokens to the contract address with transfer
function will always result in token deposit not being recognized by the recipient contract.
Here is an example of the contract code that handles ERC-20 token deposit. The following contract can accepts tokenA
deposits. It is impossible to prevent deposits of non-tokenA to this contract. If tokenA is deposited with transfer
function then it will result in a loss of tokens for the depositor because the balance of the user will be decreased in the contract of tokenA but the value of deposits
variable in the ERC20Receiver
will not be increased i.e. the deposit will not be credited. As of 5/9/2023 $201M worth of 50 examined ERC-20 tokens are already lost in this way on Ethereum mainnet.
contract ERC20Receiver { address tokenA; mapping (address => uint256) deposits; function deposit(uint _value, address _token) public { require(_token == tokenA); IERC20(_token).transferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), _value); deposits[msg.sender] += _value; } }
ERC-223 tokens must be delivered to non-contract address or contract address in the same way with transfer
function.
Here is an example of the contract code that handles ERC-223 token deposit. The following contract can filter tokens and only accepts tokenA
. Other ERC-223 tokens would be rejected.
contract ERC223Receiver { address tokenA; mapping (address => uint256) deposits; function tokenReceived(address _from, uint _value, bytes memory _data) public returns (bytes4) { require(msg.sender == tokenA); deposits[_from] += _value; return 0x8943ec02; } }
Security Considerations
This token utilizes the model similar to plain ether behavior. Therefore replay issues must be taken into account.
